Nice rifle you got there, bring one down to me in Michigan.

Whatever site I read it on as a members tag line, it's the truest statement ever made.

They would have a long time ago, when our government became self serving and lied so openly that the taste of disgust can't be cleared with bleach.
WTF happened to our country?

What's the story with that scope mount. Is that a repro? I have a receiver that will accept a mount. I would like to try a repro set up without cutting a notch in the dust cover.

oh yeah and blast you for your screaming deals up there. I paid a little over a thousand for mine (very clean matching not a rearsenal) with bayo

Yes it's a repro mount. The notch is just behind the receiver cover, but the mount above can be secured without it. Get a Russian made mount, the ones that they sell in Belarus come from China and are not as good.
